Chapter 584: Reunion
As expected by Gao Yuan, Jiang Xinliang agreed to meet and set the meeting place in Luliang Mountain. ;First time, dear, when the messenger brought back the news, Gao Yuan was shocked at first, and then laughed, "This Jiang Xinliang is really interesting."
For Gao Yuan, Luliang Mountain may be just an ordinary place during a journey, but for Jiang Xinliang, it is completely different. Strictly speaking, Luliang Mountain is the starting point of Jiang Xinliang's rebirth and the place where he will meet. It's natural that he has his intention to settle here.
"Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes, that's probably what he meant. Okay, let's go meet this Nirvana Phoenix!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Compared to Jiang Xinliang before, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been reborn from nirvana. He can now sit opposite the governor and negotiate with him gong to gong and drum to drum. A few years ago, the governor could not have imagined that he would have achieved what he has today. "?" Jiang Jiaquan said.
"I'm afraid there is some inspiration from Mr. Gao Yuan, right?" Gao Yuan joked.
"If he is a stubborn stone, even the guidance of the gods will be of no use. I have been living with him for so many years, waiting to die. Before I left, showing him a clear path can be regarded as repaying his respect for me. But I I didn't expect him to reach this point. Jiang Dawei spent his whole life pecking geese, but at the end of his life, he was blinded by the geese. After this fall, he could never get out again. "Jiang Jiaquan shook his head.
"Captain, how many people will you take with you? Do you want me to take all my subordinates out?" Ye Zhen said at the side: "This is also a good opportunity to give those new recruits some training?"
"What kind of soldiers are you bringing? It's not like we're going to fight." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Tianci has already set up an informant and will monitor Jiang Xinliang's every move. If Jiang Xinliang has evil intentions and can't escape his eyes, I will bring dozens of them. The personal guards are enough. This time we are talking about cooperation, not confrontation!"
Ten days later, on Luliang Mountain, Jiang Xinliang stood in the already dilapidated village, pointing to the side house with a big hole in the roof, and said to Zeng Xian next to him: "Uncle Zeng, that year. I was in a room. I was captured alive by Gao Yuan's men, and I was not afraid of Uncle Zeng's jokes. I was really frightened at that time. I was pulled out from under the bed. It was Mr. Jiang who was covering for me at that time. . It’s really shameful to think about it.”
Zeng Xian smiled and said, "Didn't the eldest son still not grow up at that time?"
Jiang Xinliang smiled self-deprecatingly. "I was twenty-one at that time, even older than Gao Yuan, but Uncle Zeng was right, I was really just a child at that time. It was only from that time that I started to really grow up. It's a pity. Mr. Jiang. I never expected that he would have such a great background, and I would let go of a man who could help me achieve great things."
"That's because he is unlucky." Zeng Xianyi consoled him, "I think he must have seen the current young master.
I must regret it very much. "
Jiang Xinliang laughed loudly, "Uncle Zeng is good at comforting people. But I know myself. Compared with me, Gao Yuan is indeed better than me. At least as soon as he saw Mr. Jiang, he immediately made Mr. Jiang his first conspiracy. Lord, follow your advice, and Mr. Jiang has been by my side for so many years, and I have mistaken pearls for fish eyes. His ability to recognize people alone makes him infinitely better than me."
Zeng Xianyi was silent. Gao Yuan, from a small soldier, became famous all over the world within a few years. He now owns two counties and has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. Even his generals are now well-known. Speaking of which, Jiang Xinliang is really Can't compare to it.
"Then this time when the young master agreed to meet with him, did he decide to join forces with him?" Zeng Xianyi asked.
Jiang Xinliang shook his head, "Where is the strength of Yuyang County? My father still wants to compete with the imperial court. Does he think that by uniting with Fang Huiping of Jiuyuan County, he can compete with Zhou Yutanfeng? Think about Zhou Yuan and Ning Zecheng. I shuddered at what would happen to them. The political reform they promoted would definitely continue. Whoever stood in their way would perish. It was precisely because I saw this clearly that I took the initiative to vote for Yuyang County. They can change whatever they want, but we must hold these 30,000 Yuyang County soldiers tightly. With soldiers, we have everything."
"What do you mean?"
"Our Yuyang County has limited strength, and I am not as talented and sagacious as Gao Yuan. Therefore, if we want to survive and live well, we have to embrace others."
"Gao Yuan's legs are not strong enough!" Zeng Xian nodded.
"It's not that he's not strong enough, but he's very fragile. Don't look at Gao Yuan's current glory. When Dong Hu gets out of breath, he will be as good-looking as him. Zhou Yu talked to me about this matter last time he came here. In order to let Dong Hu The Donghu people attacked Liaoxi as soon as possible and destroyed Gaoyuan, but the court paid a lot of price!" Jiang Xinliang said.
Zeng Xianyi said in shock: "Isn't this the elbow turned outward? No matter how high and far you are, you are still a Yan person. How can you collude with the Donghu people to plot against the Yan people?"
Jiang Xinliang sneered, "Gao Yuan is not that easy to mess with. Zhou Yu and the others' calculation is to let the Donghu people and Gao Yuan fight in the dark in western Liaoning. Otherwise, Zhou Yutanfeng was so kind and gave away Hejian in western Liaoning so easily. Gao Yuan? If you want people to be at the gambling table, you have to give them money."
Zeng Xian shook his head and sighed: "I gave you the gambling money, but compared with Dong Hu, a wealthy man, it's still not enough!"
"Giving too much will inevitably make Gao Yuan rich, so this bet should be possible, but it is impossible to win. The result they want is that Gao Yuan will lose, but it will also cause great damage to Dong Hu, etc. When one of them is beaten to death and the other is beaten to the point of being severely damaged, it’s time for them to clean up the mess.”
"The calculation is quite good, but things are unpredictable. How can there be any truth in everything going as planned? Aren't they afraid that Gao Yuan will really destroy Donghu and lose the tail?" Zeng Xian said: "At that time, Gao Yuan will be sitting in Liaoxi and Hejian. There is also the land of Liaodong and the vast grasslands..."
As Zeng Xianyi was talking, he suddenly stopped, with a flash of panic in his eyes...
"So, I want to talk to him." A sly look flashed in Jiang Xinliang's eyes, "Although I don't think highly of Gao Yuan, I can't offend him, right? On the surface, I hold the imperial court's thigh, but secretly, I I have a secret communication with Gao Yuan. When the time comes, it is really possible for you to reconcile. Even if it is possible, we can hug each other with another thigh. "
"Young Master is wise!" Zeng Xian nodded repeatedly.
"Please tidy up this place. Once it's tidied up, we can welcome guests!" Jiang Xinliang waved his hand, "I'm going to go out for a walk and revisit my old place. It really feels like a dream."
One day later, Gao Yuan appeared at the foot of Luliang Mountain, and Cao Tianci appeared in front of Gao Yuan like a ghost.
"How is it?" Gao Yuan raised his chin and asked.
"Everything is normal. Jiang Xinliang took more than a hundred personal guards to Luliang Mountain. Within dozens of miles from here to Yuyang, I have posted outposts and secret sentries. Whenever there is any change in the soldiers of Yuyang County, I will be there. I'll know it right away." Cao Tianci said, "It seems like this kid didn't play any tricks."
"Sure enough, we have made progress!" Gao Yuan smiled and looked back at the Jiang family, "Mr. Jiang, how do you feel about visiting your old place again?" There was a strong sense of joking in these words.
Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "This reminds me of how I was carried down the mountain like a wild boar by that boy Yan Haibo. The past is like smoke, and several years have passed in a flash."
Gao Yuan laughed, "Yan Haibo is still worried about when, Mr. Jiang, you will give him a pair of shoes to wear!"
"Oh, does he think so?" Jiang Jiaquan twirled the long beard on his chin and said with a smile: "That reminds me to look for an opportunity to deal with him later."
Everyone around laughed when they heard this.
"Let's go up the mountain and let's meet the upstarts of Yuyang County."
In the dilapidated cottage, the wing where Jiang Xinliang suffered humiliation in life has been tidied up, except for the hole on the roof. Sunlight poured down from the hole, illuminating a huge aperture. In the aperture, There is a small table and a few chairs, so people can bathe in the sunshine while inside the house, which is quite unique.
Jiang Xinliang stood at the door, watching Gao Yuan and Jiang Jiaquan approaching. A smile immediately appeared on his serious face. He took a few steps forward and bowed to the ground, not towards Gao Yuan, but towards Jiang Jiaquan, who was one step behind Gao Yuan.
"Sir, I haven't seen you for several years. I wonder if your health is still good? In the bitter cold land of western Liaoning, you have suffered a lot!"
Gao Yuan smiled slightly, moved to the side and got out of the way.
Jiang Jiaquan smiled and stepped aside, "Thank you so much, Sheriff, for your concern. Everything is fine with Jiang in western Liaoning."
There was a hint of regret on Jiang Xinliang's face: "Sir, you are too outsider. What kind of county guard is not a county guard? If it weren't for your guidance, I'm afraid Xinliang would still be the confused young man today. Xinliang's success today is all because of it." The sir’s words awakened the dreamer!”
Jiang Jiaquan shook his head, "This Jiang doesn't dare to take credit. The person who can wake up with a single word is naturally not the person in the dream, but the person with a heart. County Sheriff Jiang, this is the High Governor of Zhengdong Mansion, and we are old acquaintances with the County Sheriff, so there is no need to introduce him!" "
Jiang Xinliang then turned around, cupped his hands towards Gao Yuan and said, "General Gao, it's been a long time!"
While Jiang Xinliang was having a conversation with Jiang Jiaquan, Gao Yuan was observing this new rich man in Yuyang. Jiang Xinliang a few years ago did not leave much of an impression on him, but seeing him again now, he saw the vague shadow of the old one. It gradually became clear that compared with the austere expression at that time, the young man in front of me with a mustache and deep eyes should not be underestimated.
"Chief Jiang, long time no see!" Gao Yuan returned the greeting with a smile, "I take the liberty of asking you to see me. Gao Yuan is very happy that Governor Jiang can come as promised."
Jiang Xinliang laughed, "I have to come, I have to come. Please, General Gao, let's talk in the room." (To be continued. (lwxs.))
